sore knee in the third quarter and campbell said no when told to go into the game, quitting on the team with the season on the line unacceptable and campbell will soon be a former 40 niner. >> we're working through the semantics of exactly how the to deal with it, but i mean, you guys heard from me last night, you guys heard from our players like his actions from the games. it's not something he can do to your team or your teammates and still expect to be a part of our team. >> it's hard to win football games when someone doesn't want to play football, especially when you're suited up and it kind of puts you, puts you down, especially when you lose two linebackers and, you know, could address another one. >> so the situation with campbell, he's not like a young player. he's a nine year nfl veteran. he signed a one year deal for $5 million. so he knows how the nfl works. you can't just up and walk off when your team needs you. so obviously he's persona non grata in the 40 niners locker room going forward. the question is will he have another opportunity with another team down the road. and when you unless there's some reason something going on that

we're not aware of and nobody's said that pretty much all the players, all the analysts, everybody's just in shock to see how it unfolded last night. >> i don't remember that happening in recent years. >> no i mean very, very rarely. yeah. >> yeah. and we haven't heard from him yet. >> right. i have a feeling we're not going to hear from him. yeah. >> well, curious to know. yeah. >> i mean, if there was some extenuating circumstances, you know, that would be valuable information to have. >> all right, we'll stay on it. let's talk about the weather now, because saturday, it's going to be pretty rough when it comes to rain and wind. >> yeah. here's sandy with more. >> yeah. larry and karina. let's take a look at live doppler seven. we are tracking this storm that is going to bring us significant rain, strong winds, some dangerous surf conditions as well. looking at that storm, you can see it's got quite the moisture tap. and we are going to get quite the soaking right now in the sierra. they're seeing snow. rain is spreading across northern california and parts of the north bay have been in on the light rain. now some of this is starting to pick up.

it is moderate to the north. but let me get you into street level radar. we are seeing around south santa rosa, highway 101 west third street, some wet pavement. so looking at the storm impact scale today is a level one. scattered showers, slippery roads, winds ramping up your temperatures right now, anywhere from the 40s to the 60s. the high surf advisory goes up at 10:00 tonight until 7 p.m. saturday, 18 to 22 foot breakers will bring the risk of rip currents and sneaker waves. coastal flood advisory until 1 p.m. monday. those king tides continue, which means minor flooding is expected tomorrow morning at 937, just over seven feet. clouds are stacked up from our san jose camera. level two storm arrives late tonight. overnight into the morning, there's a slight chance of thunder and on monday we are looking at lighter rain and windy conditions, but nothing like the storm that is due in late tonight into tomorrow. it becomes a level two on our exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale. it's a moderate strength storm, rain, downpours at times strong damaging winds, dangerous surf and flooding are some

of the concerns. winds continuing to pick up out of the south at 5:00, over 40 miles an hour, closing in on 50 at the coast late tonight and then topping that. you will notice half moon bay at 11 p.m. over 50 mile an hour winds. those winds remain gusty going into tomorrow morning. and of course, this computer model is indicating that winds will actually top the 60 mile an hour criteria that we have for the wind warning and advisory. so do expect the potential for some downed trees and certainly some power outages. be prepared for that. the winds ease up tomorrow night and things will quiet down. let me go hour by hour as we look at the rainfall. it stays in the north bay at 7:00 tonight. but watch what happens. by 1130, heavy rain starts to hit many parts of the bay area. 5:00 in the morning. some really, really heavy rain. could be seeing some thunderstorms developing. i would stay off the roads if you can, between late tonight and tomorrow morning. after that, around noontime, it's just scattered showers. i think you're okay to get

outside and do anything you want to, but your holiday decorations will need to be secured because the winds could take them down. rainfall projections through tomorrow evening. most of you will be measuring in inches. we're talking anywhere from about an inch and a half to almost three inches of rain higher for the hills. and speaking of the hills, winter storm warning until 10 p.m. tomorrow. 1 to 3ft of snow above 5000 higher for the peaks. gusty winds will make travel difficult to impossible. stormy start in the morning, 40s and 50s. for your temperatures tomorrow afternoon, you're looking at highs that will range from the 50s to the 60s, and things will start to quiet down the accuweather seven day forecast. it's a level two for tomorrow. we're going to go with a mix of sun and clouds on sunday, a lighter storm it's a one on monday will bring us some light rain and windy conditions. we will then get a chance to dry out as we head towards mid and late in the workweek. karina and larry. that of course, is leading up to a big holiday weekend. travel for next weekend on e roads. >> absolutely. >> it would be nice if it was

dry just for that. >> yeah, it would be nice, right? yeah. >> sandhya. thank you. well, it seems like everyone, if everyone around you is getting sick right now, you are not alone. reporter denise dador, from our sister station in los angeles, has a look at the illnesses going around right now. >> two weeks after thanksgiving, doctors are seeing which diseases are leading the pack. >> we're starting to see much more upper respiratory illnesses, in particular one called respiratory syncytial virus, also known as rsv. >> huntington health doctor john rodarte with descanso pediatric says rsv feels like a cold, but it can last longer. some may have fever, some may not. >> the infants, the toddlers, the elderly those are the ones most susceptible to rsv and they can have respiratory complications. >> this season, rsv vaccines are available for pregnant women and the elderly. another vaccine everyone over six months should get is the flu shot because we still have a window. >> emergency room visits for flu have been low, although increasing, but wastewater surveillance shows a lot of flu

cases. >> thankfully, we're not seeing too much covid at this time yet, so we don't know if that's going to peak again during this winter season. but so far we're good with that. there is an over-the-counter test that tests both covid and flu. >> if you do test positive, it's important to know because there are treatments. but you have to know early and with the cold, ucla infectious disease specialist doctor otto yang says there are some germs, likeg says enterovirus, that can't be killed with hand sanitizer. >> only soap and water envelope viruses have some a layer of membrane that that alcohol disrupts, but nonenveloped viruses don't have that membrane. and so the alcohol doesn't do anything to them. >> so the best defense. get the available vaccines. wash your hands often. wear a mask in crowded, enclosed places. besides protecting from airborne germs, masks offer a fringe benefit. >> one of the effects protective effects of even plain surgical masks is that when you touch your face, you don't come in direct contact with your your mouth and nose. >> this season, we're going to need all the protection we can

that. but you're right. i'm not sure if you're looking for a craft beer. i don't know that you'd pick either one of those, but if you're looking for kind of a reasonably reasonably priced draft beer, i suppose they're both good choices. yeah. >> and michelob ultra has the low calories. so for people that are looking for that, karina, you have a choice. >> uh- no, i would rather do like wine or soquel's you take the socket. yeah, go with the socket. >> karina is a little more sophisticated. yeah, sure. >> we'll go with that. well, the bar in this group is set pretty low for now, so, you know, don't take that. except for sandia, she doesn't partake, so she's fine. >> it's that time of the year where your holiday favorite holiday movies are on repeat. yep. and while they enjoy you, they can spark joy. they can also spark an idea. reporter maribel gonzalez explains how whether it's the iconic christmas comedy elf. >> tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. santa's coming to town. santa's. >> oh my god, or a christmas story? holiday movies like these

draw viewers back year after year. >> there's something really comforting about knowing an ending is going to be a happy one. >> but look past the mistletoe and holiday cheer. and jeanette mulvey from the u.s. chamber of commerce says in certain festive films, you can find some savvy financial lessons. >> if you watch christmas movies, so many of them small businesses play a character in the movie. >> in hallmark's christmas in love, a small town, baker fights against plans to modernize her business. automation is the key. sometimes you have to look beneath the surface, showing that it's the people who make her business successful, that intimacy between the business and its customers and its community tends to be the thing that helps small businesses really stand out. in others, like cranberry christmas. the lesson is, following your passion can lead to success. >> so you co-founded and run your lifestyle brand, mary lane with your husband gabe. >> another lesson this festive season. watching one of these

films could spark new ideas. >> if you have a business that you would like to start, go for it. you will regret for the rest of your life if you do not try. >> i'm maribel gonzalez reporting. >> so who's got a favorite? we're all we're all stunned in silence. yeah. no. it's interesting. what's your favorite holiday movie? sandra. >> you know what, elf? and when i was a child, the home alone movies. oh, yeah. yeah. >> dan, you know, i usually watch elf. my favorites are probably love actually and the family stone. >> to love actually is really good. >> yeah, i love white christmas. that really is my favorite. but i would say elf and home alone. okay. >> yeah. i also often watch it's a wonderful life. you know, with that's very sweet. >> so i've got one that's a little bit off the beaten path. most die hard, die hard. die hard is not a christmas movie. i'm sorry. we have this place over christmas. it does. but a lot of things happen at

christmas time. that doesn't make it a christmas movie. anyway, we'll have this debate, like on twitter or whatever. what's your favorite four christmases with vince vaughn, jon favreau, reese witherspoon, robert duvall we watch it every year, and i can almost recite the lines with vince vaughn up on the dad's house, trying to install a satellite dish and destroys everything. it's just it's fantastic. >> i almost clicked on that one again the other night. >> yeah, the brothers relationship is just hilarious. >> the wrestling matches in the living room and it's just it's whoever, whoever wrote that. >> i think they're drinking bud light in that, not michelob. >> might probably. yeah. >> you know, those movies, they're such nice touchstones and we all have different ones that we like, but they all bring us into the holiday season in their own way, whatever movies that you particularly like. but there's so many great holiday movies, and actually that one i think was shot partially in san francisco, so. >> oh really? yeah. >> oh yes. they are driving.

news recently about the dungeness crab season being delayed here in the bay area. >> but a big development this week could help turn the situation around this spring. abc news meteorologist spencer christian has a closer look. >> we attach this to the line for fishermen brand little. >> the specialized ropes connecting his crab tracks are a financial lifeline. the experimental pop up system is designed to prevent whales from getting entangled by keeping

lines on the ocean floor until a crew launches them by remote control to reel in the traps. and thanks to a special testing permit, he's been able to fish into the spring crabbing season, which was cut short several years ago to protect the migrating whales. >> this is a tipping point, and i can't stress this enough. this is a tipping point at getting our spring fishery back. it's been six years. you know, you got to look at where we came from, where we're at and where we're headed. >> that's because of a surprise decision by the california fish and game commission to dramatically expand the number of special pop up permits for this spring, doubling the potential fleet from 20 boats last year to 40 boats operating from april to june. jeff chester is with the nonprofit oceana, which helped with the testing program. he says the new regulations also allow crab fishermen to daisy chain dozens of traps to a single pop up line, reducing the cost. >> you know, that actually means they don't have to buy nearly as many of those pop up units in

the first place, so it's going to reduce the cost of the equipment and also increase the efficiency that they can actually service the gear and catch the crab. >> and the stakes are high. nearly three dozen whales have been entangled in fishing gear off the west coast this year alone, and the winter crab season is now postponed until at least next month. supporters believe that fully adopting the pop up traps could be critical for helping crab fishermen recoup at least some of the lost revenue from their traditional season. >> it was a seven and a half month fishery. november to june. these whales through a hiccup and stuff and have us delayed until january. and then they're taking us off the water after march. this is the first piece of the equation, right? this is getting that april, may june fishery back. >> last year, boats operating with the experimental equipment hauled in roughly a million and a half dollars worth of dungeness crab during the spring season, putting a potentially renewed source of whale safe crab back onto bay area dinner tables in san francisco. spencer

christian, abc seven news. >> and fishermen say the pop up traps are more difficult to use during winter months because of ocean surges that can bury them on the ocean floor. >> the next assessment for crab season is one week from today. we'll find out then if you can get some local crab for the holidays. >> really hope crossed for everybody. >> cal fire is teaming up with cal poly san luis obispo to create a new urban forestry plan for the state. cal poly's urban forest ecosystems institute has mapped 40 million trees across the state. that information will be used to determine where there is a need to expand canopy cover. the goal is to increase canopy cover by 10% in underserved areas over the next ten years. >> we are all going to need to be under cover, at least for tomorrow and perhaps some of sunday. >> yeah, not under a tree. >> you definitely want to know with an umbrella inside. >> yeah. >> good idea to not park under a tree. karina and larry. and definitely try to avoid being outside between late tonight and
